Maplewood Apartments

15 min walk to the engineering quad, nice for students who always work until midnight.
Price is reasonable, and the property is relatively new

Location is fabulous, 15-20 minute walk to engineering buildings on campus. Electricity, water, and internet are taken care of as part of the rent, and one can opt for a parking spot for an extra $100 per month. I live with 2 other roommates, but there is adequate space for all of us, and we each get our own room and bathroom.

Pros:
It is pretty close to campus, especially the engineering departments.
You have your own bathroom and there is a big closet in every room!
I am totally satisfied with the size of the kitchen.
Utilities are included so I don't have to deal with bills.
The place and the neighborhood are very nice.
P&C Fresh is within walking distance (Not that close but close enough for weekly grocery shopping).

Cons:
My room wasn't that clean at move-in time (Although it was clean "enough")
The temperature of different rooms isn't separately controlled.
The lighting is poor. (Like many other housing options)
Around the garbage is messy sometimes (Maybe bothering those living near the garbage)
I can hear outside noises when the window is closed (But the neighborhood is usually quiet)

Overall this is a good living situation. The location is safe, close to campus, and free of anyone besides residents/students. There is a community lobby along with a gym. There is also a bus that goes right from maplewood to campus. Lastly, there is a barber and cafe right next to Maplewood. I have had some issues with the drain in my townhouse, however in my previous apartment here, everything was fine.

I will be leaving Cornell after the Fall semester. If anyone would like to take over my lease for the spring please contact me at bej9@cornell.edu

Fine, except some management issues

Peaceful and worth the proce

The facilities are modern and clean. The community is all grad students, so it is quiet. The community layout and design is also pretty and there is a trail nearby. The staff are responsive and experienced.

Management does a poor job of pairing roommates. I was paired with a controlling roommate who makes my life very uncomfortable. I am a female, but my roommate is a male. Only apply to Maplewood when you have a roommate.

Maplewood is a wonderful community to live in. A lot of MBA students live in this community. There is ample space in the apartment. The finishing of the appliances and furniture is ok, but not fantastic. Good for the price.

Great sense of community
